[Donald] Trump would want to cosy up to him for sure, and he’d be right to do that. Which would be good for the world.

Bernie Ecclestone

You can’t compare eras. But drivers of each era adapt to the needs and climate of their time. There are good and bad points to every era of the sport. I’m not really nostalgic about the past.

I suppose it’s knowing when you’ve come up with an idea that works, when you’ve got it right, whatever it is.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Come Ideas Knowing Up
Before they go to the race, people want to think four or five guys could win, but now… Normally you’d say, “One of those two, and I think it’s going to be Lewis [Hamiltom],” because that’s what had been proved up to now – thank God that Nico [Rosberg] has won some races.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Before Normally Thinking Two Winning
Don’t forget I started looking at China a long time before any of those races happened. I always thought go east, not west.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Long Race West
Actually I think I have forgotten how it was back then. Or probably not – I didn’t qualify. There were only 16 cars in the race.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Car Race Thinking
Generally I still believe that Lewis [Hamilton] is the best champion that we have had in a long, long time. He manages to get to all different walks of life: red carpet, fashion business, and music – you name it.

Car Dealer Used
It’s not as easy as that… it’s disappointing to think that all these countries spend a lot of money trying to get the Olympics.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Country Thinking Trying
I was delighted with Baku. People said I was completely mad; I was so happy when it all turned out all right.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Mad People Said
You can’t make decisions if there are no charges or issues to deal with. So it’s quite normal to wait until there is some reason to react.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Decision Issues Waiting
I think we don’t need some people in Brussels trying to run countries that are some distance apart, who don’t speak the same language, don’t eat the same food. There’s a bit of difference between, Holland, if you like, and Italy.

Country Distance Running
When there is more money at stake it affects the atmosphere and things become more businesslike.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Atmosphere Money More Stakes
Each new deal is another opportunity.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Another Opportunity Deals Each New
I think I would find it easier to talk with Nico [Rosenberg] than Lewis [Hamilton], as Lewis is into things that are very distant to me.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Easier Hamilton Thinking
Under the engine cover, no one cares what’s in there. Nobody cares.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Care Engine No Nobody One
